Reply to "Lionel 2037 Steamer Won't Run"

The Bob Hannon book is probably the "bible" on Postwar motor troubleshooting.  All of these measurements are in there.  [I often wonder how many motors he took apart, to come up with those normative values!]  Anyhow, it's an invaluable resource for this sort of thing.

I would be surprised though to learn that this is the cause.  I've messed with Postwar since my teens, and I've seldom come across a burned-out armature coil.  It's good to know that there are folks who rewind them.  But on many steam locos, removal and reinstallation is a pro-level repair.  Check the basics first!
